TITLE   :Disklock Is Not Compatible with Windows NT
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
You are unable to access Windows NT when you use Fifth Generation
Systems Disklock. Disklock is a data security application that uses
password protection and an optional data encryption scheme to keep
your computer secure from unauthorized access.
 
If you run the Disklock installation program from within Windows NT,
it will fail with an "‘Unable to locate physical sector’" error
message.
 
Disklock installs correctly from MS-DOS even if Windows NT is
installed on your system, but when you attempt to start Windows NT,
you will receive a stop screen with the following message:
 
   ***STOP: 0x0000007B     INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
 
Disklock must be removed (uninstalled) to be able to open Windows NT.
This is a design feature of Disklock because it modifies the Master
Boot Record on your hard disk drive so that it is unreadable unless
DISKLOCK.SYS is loaded from CONFIG.SYS and the correct password is
supplied.
 
The Disklock product included here is manufactured by Fifth Generation
Systems, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty,
implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or
reliability.
